Kiss Collection Prada Candy Kiss
by Prada
Prada Candy Kiss is a smaller, travel-sized version of the original Prada Candy, presented in a stylized bottle with a lip motif. It shares the same core accords—musky, amber, caramel, powdery, and warm spicy notes—with a subtle benzoin presence that adds depth and a slightly medicinal sweetness. The scent leans into a refined, sweetly floral musk with caramel as a central but restrained element. It opens with a soft, slightly powdery sweetness evoking cotton candy or a subtle fragrance in the air, not a literal candy syrup. Over time, it smooths into a mature, intangible gourmand skin scent that lingers gently but lacks strong sillage or radiance. Some find it reminiscent of Giorgio Red or De Varens I Love You, while others prefer the original Candy for its bolder profile. It's best suited for intimate wear during winter or autumn, and appeal is strong among fans of soft gourmands, though loyalty hinges on personal preference.

Cons
